The thing is and i know we're having a laugh here but i think the way we are being screwed by this f***ing firm we need to push this kind of stuff harder,there are duties at my place that if they had to use a toilet it would add 30mins on top of their time.

We are our own worst enemy,the good times have gone,there are no more easy days,even if you add absoption on a tuesday it's a long day.Plus this long and shorts s**t.
We need to buck our ideas up.Especially for the gals we work with,one of mine does not drink much because of this,even in the summer,and it's wrong and dangerous!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The last delivery I was on - and it isn't really that long ago - I had to jump in the car and drive to the nearest Tesco - and sometimes it was touch and go I can tell you - especially if the traffic was heavy - sometimes I was steering, changing gear and indicating with one hand. The older you get the worse it gets too particularly in cold weather - bushes are OK in summer but they're leafless in winter.

i used to drive taxis and there was an old bye law that you could pee on the rear drivers side wheel (ok if your male). I have been at the point of delivering a parcel at the end of a 4 hour walk or pissing myself, luckily enough there was no-one and their cat watched me have a pee in their garden lol

Under SDD in 2003 all walks were supposed to be asessed for adequate toilet facilities but they never were.

Spoke to CWU and RM H&S about it and they both thought it was a big joke. "Go behind a bush,that's what we did" :arrrghhh

Surely you're taking the p*ss? Well, anyway, if you're not I do hope that when you're taking a dump you are thinking of that other lot -- the management. :whistle :chuckle
We posties do things differently, but we still get shot at!

Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
